A loss of electrons by an atom creates an anion? true or false

2 answers:

4 0

That is false.

An ion is "<span>an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons."

But in detail anion means gaining of electrons.

So, a gain of electrons by an atom creates an anion.</span>
